re: FCC votes 3-2 in favor of Title II reclassification of ISPs - Tyrusrex on 2/26/15 at 8:05 pm[quote]They have those monopolies due to government regulation.
More regulation doesnt solve regulation[/quote]
True, these monopolies exist but only because of government regulations at the local level. This is why Title II is so important at the Federal level. Otherwise, every local marke...

re: FCC votes 3-2 in favor of Title II reclassification of ISPs - Tyrusrex on 2/26/15 at 7:39 pmAs someone who works at a IT startup in California, I absolutely support this decision by the FCC. The only people who are against it are either ignorant of the current situation of the broadband market in the United States or people who work for the ISPs either directly or indirectly.
Was Title...

re: Man says he shot burglar who said she was pregnant - Tyrusrex on 7/26/14 at 7:29 amAs someone mentioned before about the Minnesota man Bryon Smith.
Do you think he's guilty of murder? A jury convicted him of murder.
It's damn hard to listen to the audio of him as he kills them.

re: Minimum wage boost blocked in the Senate - Tyrusrex on 4/30/14 at 5:41 pmI'm a bit torn about the issue of minimum wage. On the one hand, I can see how it messes with free market principals. But, on the other hand I can see how if a person has to work 40-70 hours a week and still not have enough to live that would be an issue as well. I'm at the point where I consider...

re: So the question must be asked: Is Obama a Muslim? - Tyrusrex on 4/10/14 at 3:49 pmCan we just stop and kill this thread please? When people say that Conservatives are dumb racists redneck hicks, they point to threads like this.
If you really dislike Obama, then you should say something like I disagree with the President because of this reason, that reason, and this reason ove...

re: BOOM, New Climate Data Rigging Scandal Rocks US Govt. - Tyrusrex on 1/27/14 at 6:49 pmSorry, but Principia-Scientific, the source of the article, is a journal created solely to discredit climate change. I'm not saying that they right or wrong in this case, but I wouldn't claim victory until a more reputable publications like Scientific American weighs in. And no I don't believe tha...

re: Why do we continue to do business with Pakistan? - Tyrusrex on 1/25/14 at 9:15 pmThis is pretty easy, as bad as Pakistan is as an ally, it would be much much much worse if they were our enemy. Can you imagine a radical Islamic country near India, China, and the Middle East with nuclear weapons? This is why we put up with all the shite from Pakistan....

re: Does today's public make you question democracy? - Tyrusrex on 1/14/14 at 7:57 pm[quote]The framers had it right IMO.
You have to own property to be able to vote. That's a reasonable requirement.
Democracy really is nothing more than tyranny of the majority.

WRONG! This would disenfranchise too many millionaire bankers and stockbrokers who may not own any l...

re: Chevy Volt doesn't like winter - Tyrusrex on 1/3/14 at 4:40 pm[quote]Also, most of our imported oil comes from Canada.[/quote]
Ok, the problem here is that gasoline is a widely traded commodity. Because we're importing from Canada that means countries like Japan and China can't buy from there and have to buy from places like Venezuela and Libya. The only ...

re: Chevy Volt doesn't like winter - Tyrusrex on 1/3/14 at 4:24 pmI really don't understand why so many conservatives hate gas efficient vehicles. Anything that gets the US and the world off of Arab country's gasoline teat is a good thing. ...
